Treasure Hunt all over the World

The discussion subsided a little, and Ye Tian's voice immediately reached everyone's ears again.

"Here, I must declare in advance that I don't intend to sell those antique works of art from China, but plan to collect them myself or bring them back to China.

As you all know, I am from China, and I prefer the antique works of art from my own country. Those things can bring me a feeling of blood connection. I believe everyone can understand my approach.

The best market for those antique works of art is not in the United States or any other country, but in China, where people know how to appreciate them and understand their beauty better! There is no doubt about it! "

Before the words fell, someone was already in a hurry.

Isaac, the curator of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, pushed his chair away and stood up abruptly, and said anxiously with a pale face:

"Steven, how can you keep your word? Many of the antiques stolen from our museum are from China, and we are going to buy them back!"

"That's right! The situation in our museum is the same. There are also two Chinese paintings that you have named to leave. We also want to repurchase these two paintings!"

The curator of the New Haven Museum of Art echoed, his face a bit ugly.

"We all understand that you Chinese do prefer antiques from your own country, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do so?"

The curator of the Barnes Museum said coldly that Ye Tian took a fancy to a stolen calligraphy work in their museum.

The same goes for the rest of the people, as long as there are antiques from China among the stolen antiques in their museums, their faces are a bit ugly at this time.

Faced with this situation, Ye Tian still acted very relaxed, without any signs of nervousness.

After several museum owners finished speaking, he smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, don't be impatient, listen to me, since I made this request, it must be after careful consideration, and I will definitely make compensation to everyone.

There are a large number of stolen antique works of art hidden in that warehouse, some of which are not listed in the list of stolen antique works of art, and most of them come from countries and regions that have not established similar registration systems.

Others come from long-standing wars, or countries and regions that are still at war, and their original owners may no longer be alive or have collapsed!

Strictly speaking,

These antique works of art are already unowned, and as the professional treasure hunter who found them, I have a right to these treasures, there is no doubt about it!

Like other stolen antique works of art, these antique works of unclear ownership and undocumented are all top-notch goods, and there are many works by masters such as Raphael and Picasso.

After I get these stolen antique artworks, I will take out some of them to replace those antique artworks from China. I believe this arrangement should satisfy everyone.

For example, if I replace the three ancient Chinese ink and wash landscapes with a representative work of Picasso at his peak, would you be willing to accept this substitution? Mr. Isaac! "

"Of course I would! I can't wait to ask for it. Can you tell me about Picasso's masterpiece? There are too many stolen paintings of him. I really can't imagine that masterpiece might appear in that warehouse!"

Isaac nodded impatiently and said, he was so excited that he was about to fly!

In the eyes of these dead foreigners, ancient Chinese ink and wash landscape paintings are cloudy and foggy, and they cannot be appreciated at all. They can't compare with the masterpieces of Cubist master Picasso.

Specifically reflected in the market value, the gap between the two is also very huge. The addition of three famous ancient Chinese paintings may not be worth the price of a painting by Picasso.

Of course, the artistic value is another matter, that thing is too subjective!

That's why Isaac was ecstatic when he heard Ye Tian's words, and he agreed very happily.

He didn't have any doubts about whether Ye Tian could get those top-notch antique works of art.

Professional treasure hunters enjoy the benefits of the treasures they find. It is not only a customary practice, but also a right conferred by the law. No one can deny it!

"I'm sorry, Isaac, this is just a metaphor, it's inconvenient to reveal the name of the painting at the moment, don't worry, you will see that oil painting in a short time!

But I can tell you one thing, that oil painting was created in 1909, just two years after "The Girl of Avignon"! Definitely Picasso at his peak! "

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, but did not answer Isaac's question.

However, the content of his words was extremely shocking.

"That's great! Steven, I love you to death! You actually sent us a painting of Picasso in his prime!"

Isaac cheered directly, almost crazy with excitement.

Isaac was not the only one who was extremely excited. The museum owners who had looked ugly just now were all beaming with joy! Face changing is extremely smooth!

"Steven, is this true? Replace the antique artworks from China with the works of Western art masters, am I right?"

The director of the New Haven Museum of Art asked excitedly, his eyes full of disbelief.

Happiness came so suddenly that he couldn't believe it!

"Of course it's true, no one cheats, but the premise is that the value must be equal, at least let me think that the value is equal! This is in line with the principle of fair trade!"

Ye Tian gave an affirmative answer, very confident.

"Great! We also want to get a work by a top art master, even if the value is not equal, it doesn't matter. We have a lot of antique artworks from China, and we can come up with a few more to match!"

Apparently, this guy has gone all out, and is going to draw a town hall treasure for his museum!

"Your proposal is very good, I will seriously consider it!"

Ye Tian agreed very readily, how could he miss this kind of god-sent opportunity to take advantage of the fire.

"Steven, you just said that there is a Raphael painting in that warehouse, can you tell me the specific situation? Is it the Raphael painting?"

The curator of the Metropolitan Museum asked eagerly, his voice trembling with excitement.

Raphael, the three masters of the Renaissance art world! Every piece of work is a priceless treasure, and there is no circulation in the current art market!

Any person or museum that owns Raphael's paintings must be kept as a family heirloom or treasure of the town hall, probably no less precious than their own eyeballs! It is impossible to take it out for sale.

Now that I heard that there is actually a Raphael painting in that warehouse, even the director of the Metropolitan Museum, one of the four major museums in the world, can't help being a little excited!
